    God damn. A GMC Jimmy that had contemporary WRX-like acceleration numbers back in the early 90s... I remember when these things hit the streets and wiped the smarmy smirk off of many Corvette/Z28/Trans Am/5.0/Ricer/Euro sports-car owner's faces. It goes to show what GM engineers could achieve when the bean-counters loosened their leash a little.

      What top speed has the typhoon?
      348tb is 170mph. I dont believe the typhoon is faster. Also the acceleration is 5.5 0-60 from the 348tb and i am sure it is faster/better accelerating in a rolling start compared to the typhoon.
      Just a little awd advantage.

No one ever expects you blowing past them in a heavy SUV. The weight and awd really hooks on the street. Trailblazer ss came with 395hp but this being turbo 6cyl would be even quiter than a modern ls2 v8 with a modern exhaust. I love werid powerful sleepers. More fun than most muscle cars for laughs.

      +Cyota Corolla Did you notice I said "the Z24 model between the years 86-90, and 91-94!" You have the model years correct, but the Z24 model didn't arrive until 85-86 (the citation X-11 was the sports compact then). So you may want to read the comment in its entirety before posting a sarcastic, and critical comment when you failed to read it properly. Have a great day though!

      Lmao, you're confusing the impala SS with the Buick Grand National. The car dubbed Lord Vaders was the GN. And not a precursor, the GN came before both the Impala SS and the Syclone/Typhoon.

    To say the GMC Syclone and Typhoon were quick is such a massive understatement... I'm surprised they came with drum brakes in the rear, though. Oh how times have changed for performance-oriented vehicles...

    29k was alot for a car back in 92. But 0-60 in 5.3s is very impressive for a SUV type vehicle. You don't see either this or the cyclone too often, if ever! So rare. Jay Leno has a cyclone. He did a Jay Leno's garage shoot with it. It's pretty sweet.
